Product: OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-xd0000 (758R2AV)

Hello,


I would like to replace my wifi card, with another one that is better like the "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200" or any other wifi card that is compatible. Currently I have the Realtek 8852CE WiFi 6E PCI-E NIC but it is very slow. So I was wondering if I could replace my wifi card if there are no BIOS whitelist restrictions.


Thanks in advance.

Hi:

 

Chapter 3 of the service manual indicates that the Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6e Bluetooth 5.2 WLAN, HP part # M53366-005 was an optional card in the model series.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

However, I don't see how that can be possible since the AX211 is a CNVI card and is only supposed to work in PC's with Intel motherboards.

 

What Are the Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) and Companion...

 

I don't recommend you make the swap.

Hi @AudenaertMaarte 

 

The Wi-Fi card you currently have is better than the AX200, in specifications, it is a card that can connect to 6 GHz networks, the AX200 can only connect to 5 GHz
